States’ rights to … do what, exactly?
So, it’s not so much the policy that strikes me here. It’s comments like this …

“In Donald Trump’s golden age, we will have only legal immigration and we will have zero Americans dying from Chinese/Mexican/Canadian fentanyl.”

THIS is what’s not normal.

How is it we’ve gone nearly 10 years, and we’re still letting him get away with describing tariffs as a tax on other countries?

Shamsu-Din Jabbar was born in the United States.

REPEAT: Jabbar was a U.S. citizen. He was born here and did not cross the border. Any post claiming otherwise is straight-up disinformation.

I’m not famous, well-connected, or even randomly lucky enough to have a personal #JimmyCarter story to share. But, I do owe the man an apology. While I was born during Ford’s administration, the first president I (dimly) recall is Carter. 1/

I disagree with the scope of the pardon, especially given the president’s statements that he wouldn’t do it.

That said, for the rest of us to get mad because we lost some kind of moral high ground is not helpful here. We just learned a month ago that the majority of Americans don’t care about that

The broad scope of the pardon makes sense given Trump & the GOP’s threats to investigate/prosecute “the Biden crime family.”Rather than see HB persecuted for years, he preemptively knocked out all the petty individual offenses as well as the high-profile Ukraine stuff, and whatever else they gin up.
It would be cool if anyone criticizing Biden’s pardon of his son looked at virtually any other post-Nixon president, addressed the non-reasoning or middling reasoning the others gave in comparison to Biden, or realized that this will have literally zero effect on what Trump will do.

If you can’t do 82-0, I guess 81-1 will have to do. #LetEmKnow

Re: the possible overturning of Obergefell in the relatively near future

If you are queer-ly married in the United States and you have not done estate planning (Wills and powers of attorney, at minimum), you should do that. Sooner the better.
